The Outback is unlike any other outdoor shoe on the market. Inspired by the skate shoes we grew up wearing, and sharing the same vulcanized construction method, its low-profile look immediately sets it apart. However, this book's cover doesn't tell the whole story. If you dig deeper, you'll find top-shelf materials and technical features that give the Outback real off-road capabilities. Constructed from 2.0mm oiled leather or suede, a DWR coating, and a gusseted tongue, the Outback will do its part to keep the elements out. On the inside, you'll find a bespoke anti-microbial PU innersole with increased arch support so your feet don't fatigue. We also use a vari-flex Bi Fit lasting board to control flexion over rough terrain, without compromising everyday wearability. Also, they look cool, unless you want that "my whole life is a through-hike" look.
So, if you're looking for a light hiking boot that ditches the needless bulk and over-the-top styling in favor of clean aesthetics and rugged durability, then this is the shoe for you. Let's not forget that Outdoor Magazine said, “This Boot Can Do Anything!‚” and they, of course, were right.

How do Ridgemont shoes feel?
Ridgemont shoes begin their journey on your feet in a snug way. Over time, they will stretch and mold to your feet, making them the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever own.
What size should I get?
At Ridgemont our shoes are true to size so if you wear a size 9 in vans then we recommend you wear a size 9 in Ridgemont.
The boots are snug and broke in pretty quick (2 days). I skateboard so I am particular about how my shoes fit. I use the Outback’s for work which requires walking on tough terrain (gravel, rocks) and they work great. Highly recommend.

The quality is superb! They are heavy duty and very nice. I highly recommend them. They has a think interior sole and run slightly small. Recommend half size bigger then typical size.

Ridgemont Review
Love the quality and fit of these shoes. They are a little dressier than I thought, but all good. They are super comfortable and can be worn with jeans, business casual, etc. Stoked on my purchase!

Great Boots!
I've had a couple of pairs of the Monty Hi and took the plunge with the smarter Outback II.
Broke them over a week and they are super comfortable now.
